The only -male- edge connectors are schematic only, no PCB pattern. I needed a pattern for the plug, not a pattern of pads for the socket.
I did manage finally, as Stefan suggested although not in these words, to hork it around and make my own 10 finger male edge connector while breaking "rules". It generates loads of errors and it seems to trigger a bug that results in part of one net not being autorouted. But I just manually routed that one last net.
Hopefully this doesn't mess up all the other files I must generate.

I got help on figuring out how to draw arbitrary copper shapes in the signal layer, but it won't let me attach an air-wire to it. I tried dropping a pad on one end of the shape and then just ignore the error warnings, but it will route all but the last airwire I laid down.

I have not ever used Edge Connectors or tried to create one, but must be a way to create a Edge Connector since there is a Library of of Edge Connectors. Or maybe I have not read all your posts to understand what you are trying to do.
